Travel support to attend Young Mathematicians in C*-Algebras/Young Women in C*-Algebras

Application Due Date: March 10, 2019

The joint conference Young Mathematicians in C*-Algebras and Young
Women in C*-Algebras (YMC*A/YWC*A) will be held in Copenhagen this year, August
5-10.
The NSF has generously agreed to provide travel support for about 15
early-career mathematicians (at most 6 years post PhD) to attend YMC*A/YWC*A 2019.

This conference focuses on recent developments in operator algebras (both von
Neumann and C*-algebras), noncommutative geometry, and related areas of
mathematical analysis, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between
operator algebras and the fields of geometric group theory, logic, and
dynamical systems. YMC*A/YWC*A is organized for and by master/Ph.D.-students
and postdocs in operator algebras and related areas, with the goal of fostering
scientific and social interaction between young researchers. The conference
will feature three mini-courses by established researchers (Cornelia Drutu,
Ilijas Farah, and Ian Putnam) alongside many contributed talks by participants,
as well as mentoring activities designed to support underrepresented groups in
operator algebras. More information about YMC*A/YWC*A 2019, including the
conference registration form, is available at: https://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2019/ymcstara2019/.
